As the night became deeper and deeper, the thick fog near the Jiaoan gradually dissipated, and the stone lion also calmed down. With Cui Ning's energy and blood energy and formations, energy evolution is inevitable, but at which point of evolution, Cui Ning's future good relationship was naturally unexpected.

In the mountains in May, Su Ruoqing and Cui Ning hugged each other. After dawn, the mountain spring water washed their faces. Then Cui Ning immediately reported his guesses and the things that happened in the past few days with Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhuge, especially about the energy of heaven and earth, and the impact of Feng Shui in the mining area. He also made his own guesses, saying that future mining and important projects should still be considered to have the impact on the order of heaven and earth. Mr. Jiang said on the phone that this issue needs to be communicated in person, after all, there are too many things involved.

Cui Ning looked at Su Ruoqing who was even more beautiful than the fairy and always felt that Su Ruoqing had a little more charming aura. She didn't know if it was the influence of the energy of the mirage or her own illusion. However, overall Su Ruoqing's energy and blood energy were normal, including her thinking state, so Cui Ning no longer thought about it.

Because he agreed to Ge Qingwen and wanted to meet the local government officials and solve the problem of the local small coal mine, Cui Ning arranged Su Ruoqing in a hotel in the town and went to the town government headquarters alone. He also contacted Ge Qingwen and his leaders in the middle and communicated about meeting with the owner of the small coal mine.

Mayor Yao met Cui Ning in his office. Although Cui Ning was very young, both the instructions from his superiors and the demeanor of Cui Ning made the clever mayor unconditionally cooperate with Cui Ning's arrangements, including calling the mine owner of the small coal mine as soon as possible. More than a dozen local entrepreneurs and capable people led by the mine manager Bao also arrived at the town government's headquarters soon.

This time, Mining Manager Bao and others were prepared. In addition to bringing all the approval procedures together, they also brought a copy of donations over the years and some local media reports and briefings, including computers purchased for local nursing homes, kindergartens and schools. This is a real contribution and contribution in the local area.

Looking at the approval procedures in the county and town, as well as the signatures of relevant leaders, and donations to the local government, Cui Ning felt the hostility of more than a dozen mine owners, and Mayor Yao remained silent on the side, including several police officers sent by the police station. Under the leadership of Ge Qingwen, they kept a certain distance from Cui Ning and the mine owners, but they were obviously not very interested.

"Leader Cui, I came to report the problems to you this time by thanking the bosses. In fact, I just want to know that we are a private coal mine, but the procedures are sound, and we pay taxes according to the rules. We actively participate in various social charities, including the town, police station, nursing home, kindergarten. The 10 or 20 people here have donated a lot, and there are also large-scale activities, including the traffic police's parasols, which we voluntarily produce and donate.

Leader Cui, this is not a big city. Although tourism has developed well, the ticket revenue is not high. Moreover, the government's initial investment is very high, so it has not made any profit yet. It mainly depends on minerals and agricultural products. We are considered a pillar industry in the local area. As long as someone can work in a coal mine, the whole family can live without worries.

Since the central government’s policies have not yet stipulated a one-size-fits-all approach, the leaders will have to shut down our coal mines at once, which will have various adverse effects not only on us, but also on the local economy, charity, employment, etc..”

"Since the local mineral industry is a pillar industry and the income is good, why not find a job in a large coal mine?" Cui Ning raised his own question.

The Mine Manager Bao looked at the boss of the dozens of people and the small coal mine, as well as the government staff such as Mayor Yao, and the police who were silent on the side, and laughed:

"Leader, the big coal mine here is just a glamorous appearance, but various problems have begun to arise in business management. The leaders have power and money, while the workers are very hard-working, and the benefits have also begun to decline. It turns out that a formal worker can earn nearly 2,000 yuan a month, which is higher than the police's income here.

You can ask these police comrades, they work very hard. In our case, the per capita income per month is only more than 1,000 yuan. However, it was fine if there were welfare housing distribution in the past few years. Now the welfare housing distribution has been cancelled. The income of many formal workers can only be said to be barely enough to maintain food and clothing. Moreover, there are too many things for large enterprises, so they are neither free nor happy to work.

When working in our small coal mine, as long as you go to work after simple training, you can get hundreds or even thousands of dollars more than in a large coal mine. There are several police officers in our mine who are improper and go to dig coal."

Cui Ning nodded:

"But I looked at it. Although you have complete procedures and approved by the county and town, there have been several accidents in recent years, and several of them were major casualties. According to regulations, the shutdown of small coal mines is also for safety reasons."

"Leader, which coal mine does not kill anyone? Besides, our family's compensation is more than that of large coal mines. If there is no responsibility for Aobi, there are contracts." Mine Manager Bao took out a thick contract and handed it to Cui Ning, saying:

"On the contrary, many large coal mines have problems, which is very complicated to deal with. When something happens in our brother's mine, it is introduced by relatives or acquaintances. They will never evade responsibility or ignore it. You must know that we Pingxiang people are very reasonable and loyal."

Cui Ning simply flipped through the contract and nodded and said:

"Dear mine managers and bosses, in fact, the shutdown of the small coal mine is not because the superiors have any opinions on you and turn a blind eye to your contribution to society over the years, but because the small coal mine, whether it is production capacity or industrial model, is destined to be eliminated.

Large coal mines in the future may be shut down. This is inevitable for social development. Just like now, everyone is starting to buy cars instead of riding horses. Can you understand what I say?”

"Why are our production capacity and industrial model eliminating? How to develop high-tech, people still have to eat, dress, and work, right?" The person who spoke was the boss of another small coal mine, who was also named Ge, who was generous and spoke more directly.

"It's the new century now. You shouldn't just focus on your own acre of land. You should go and see the outside world, or learn about the outside world." Cui Ning said patiently:

"Now coal mining technology around the world is changing with each passing day, and more and more new energy sources are emerging. Oil is not the latest and most advanced energy sources, let alone coal?

Although coal will not be eliminated, just like bicycles, there is still a market, but the market will become smaller and smaller, and the industry will become more and more marginalized. If you still stick to the past ideas and do not intend to make progress, you will become mineless bosses in the past few years, or your investment and effort will be completely disproportionate.

Boss Bao, I ask you, compared with a few years ago, does the cost of 10,000 tons of coal increase a lot? Or no matter how hard a worker works, the coal you pick is not as high as in previous years, and is not as good as in previous years. If you continue, will you still pay workers a higher salary? Or will you rely on the workload of more than ten hours a day to support it? Do you think with the implementation of the Labor Law, as long as the government strictly supervises from here, will this work method be promising?"

Mining Manager Bao thought for a while, looked at everyone and said:

"Leader, we are not unaware of what you said. Recently, we have seen a lot of advanced coal mining methods on TV, but the equipment requires money and is not suitable for our small coal mines.

As for the future you mentioned, as well as the cost of mining, or the increasing cost of mining, we also admit that, but we know that it is still fine to mine the small coal mines here for another ten years. In ten years, most of us here can retire and have no worries.”

Cui Ning looked at Mayor Yao without saying a word, so he simply asked a question directly:

"Mayor Yao, how much profit and tax can they pay for more than a dozen small coal mines in a year? How much employment problems can be solved? Or, can you calculate their annual output value?"

Mayor Yao saw Cui Ning ask him, but he didn't want to answer, and replied vaguely:

"The large coal mines have hundreds of thousands of taxes every year, including various inspections and handling fees. These are all stipulated by previous leaders and have been continued. Then, the annual output value of more than a dozen coal mines is estimated to be 100 million or 200 million, which means that the average output value of each company is tens of millions. However, there are actually big and small, and there are 300 to 40 million, and there are millions. The total number of workers in their mines is 700 to 800, and there are 200 to 800 people in each mine every year. There are dozens of people in each mine, hundreds of people in the big and twenty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to twentie to thirty to thirty to twentie to thirty to twentie to thirty to twentie to thirty to twen

Cui Ning nodded and asked the mine manager Bao:

"The data the mayor said is almost the same?"

The mine manager Bao looked at several small bosses and scratched his head and said:

"It's almost the same, but in addition to mining, we also have other businesses, including opening hotels and transportation. Each company's assets will be a little more than what the mayor said just now."

Cui Ning smiled:

"Don't worry, I don't know how to check the accounts by taxes. I mean, you all here are worth millions or tens of millions, or even a little higher, but they have been doing such dangerous and heavy work. Then I ask, Master Bao, will you let your child go down the mine? Or continue to do this?"

Mine Manager Bao smiled:

"Leader, I have a son who not only does not go to the mine, but is also ignorant. It has almost become a heart-wrenching problem for me. In fact, having money may not bring good luck to my children. It is precisely the few of us here who started from scratch and started their own careers. But apart from mining, we are not educated, so what else can we do?"

"Then you more than a dozen bosses, who have children at home, will your children also go down the mine?" Cui Ning continued to ask.

More than a dozen coal mine owners, look at me and I look at you, one of them said:

"Leader, Brother Bao said just now that we have no other way. The children don't like us to do this, and they either go to college or business, and there is no one who goes down the mine at the moment."

"Yes, my children won't go down the well. In fact, if it's not for life, who would have wanted to do this job?" Cui Ning sighed and said:

"It's no wonder that the small coal mine is called a black coal mine outside. In fact, it's just about squeezing absentee labor force, working overtime, and then making everyone here rich. What I said is not very nice, but it's also true."

"Leader, now it is a new society, not an old society. It is not easy to put a capitalist hat on us," said another mine owner:

"As for the miners working overtime, this is not a matter of our coal mine, it is all miners working overtime voluntarily.

Besides, if the coal mines are really closed, the government will definitely provide compensation. The black and white contracts and approvals are done by the government. We can’t open them whenever we want, and close them when we want. Our rights and interests should be protected."

"Yes, if it is closed now, the government's fiscal expenditure will have a big problem," Mayor Yao said quietly to Cui Ning.

Cui Ning looked at the dozen or so excited mine managers and knew that the problem was still the interests.
